In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena
This Week In New York/Page 1 This Week in New York Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC September 27, 2019 Edition Shanah Tovah from Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena Governor Andrew Cuomo joined the New York Islanders, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, local leaders and hockey fans to break ground on the New York Islanders' new arena at Belmont Park, the centerpiece of the $1.3 billion Belmont Park Redevelopment. In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever." Announced in December 2017, the Belmont Redevelopment Project will turn 43 acres of underutilized parking lots at Belmont Park into a premier sports and hospitality destination, including a new 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders hockey team and other events, a 250-key hotel, a retail village and office and community space.

** Will print automatically! If it doesn't, click here. ** MORNING INSIDER Speaker candidates unleashed | Construction safety | Retail killing itself Your Morning Insider for Nov. 2, 2017. Erik Engquist Published: November 2, 2017 - 12:01 am Who won the speaker debate? Given that the race for City Council speaker is decided by a handful of insiders in back rooms, the spectacle of the contenders making their cases in public at yesterday's Crain's forum was something to behold. All eight candidates were eager to attend, even though they have been campaigning privately among the Democratic county leaders, union presidents and council colleagues who decide the outcome. They showed up because to be a contender, one must be seen as a contender. Not being on stage works against that impression. Second, the event sold out well in advance, an indication of the importance that business people and their lobbyists place on being on good terms with the next speaker. But a fair number of them came for the entertainment value as well. So, who won? The answer depends on the criteria. Some candidates impressed the audience but expressed views that might hurt their chances for one reason or another. Here was one insider's take, based strictly on the latter criterion: "I though Ydanis Rodriguez did worst, followed by Donovan Richards and Jumaane Williams. Ritchie Torres undercut himself by talking up the solidarity of the [Bronx] delegation. Robert Cornegy was solid but didn't project as an institutional leader. Jimmy Van Bramer was the most clever but a little too democratic—I don't think turning the council into Albany by letting people do grandstand introductions [of legislation] and force uncomfortable votes is an idea that a lot of members really want, no matter how much they say they want more freedom.

NYC Council District 45 Special Election Questionnaire About Us Launched in 2017, Voters For Animal Rights (VFAR) is a New York based 501c(4) grassroots multi-issue animal advocacy organization that is building political power for animals. Our mission is to elect candidates who support animal protection, lobby for stronger laws to stop animal cruelty, and hold elected officials accountable to humane voters. VFAR mobilizes public concern for animals through the political process. We know that animal protection is not only a moral issue but a bi-partisan political issue as well. Over 90% of Americans believe that animals need protection from abuse and exploitation. To that end, we organize humane voters to support candidates that care about animals. If you support animals, then we want to support you! There are over 60,000 humane voters throughout New York state, hundreds of which are volunteers for VFAR who are ready to knock on doors, make phone calls and get out the vote to elect people that will stand up for animals. We deliver the vote – for the animals and for you. As an example, here is our animal-friendly voter guide from the NYC Special Election for Public Advocate. Endorsement Process Candidates seeking our endorsement for the NYC Council District 45 Special Election are required to fill out this questionnaire and submit to [email protected] by Friday, April 26.

For Immediate Release Contact: Joanne King, 718-990-0704 [email protected] GOVERNMENT, COMMUNITY LEADERS CELEBRATE RE-OPENING OF QUEENS LIBRARY AT PENINSULA Superstorm Sandy-Damaged Library Is Back, Better Than Ever ROCKAWAY BEACH, NY, September 8, 2015 -- Borough President Melinda Katz, Assembly Member Phillip Goldfeder, City Council Member Eric Ulrich, City Council Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer, Chair of the City Council Subcommittee on Libraries Andy King, State Sen. Joseph Addabbo, Queens Library's Interim President and CEO Bridget Quinn-Carey and other government and community leaders were on hand today to ceremonially re-open Queens Library at Peninsula. The library has re-opened following a $3.6 million re- building. During Superstorm Sandy, the seawater surged above four feet inside the library, devastating the interior. The rebuilt library includes all new library collections, more computers, a completely new interior with an expanded Adult Learning Center, an expanded children's room with an early childhood alcove and enhanced "Family Place" programming, a separate new teen area with gaming, reading and group work areas, self-service check-out and 24/7 check-in, and a program/community room with a separate entry that can be used when the library is closed for public service. Additional sustainability features have been included to help protect it from damage from future weather events. “Parents across our city know libraries can help develop their child’s lifelong love of reading. And in the years since Hurricane Sandy, residents of this community know the importance of having a bright, newly restored library where they can bring their families.
